    Recently virtio-9p support was added to bhyve.
    
    On the host side it looks this way:
    
      bhyve .... -s 25:0,virtio-9p,sharename=/path/to/shared/dir
    
    It could also have ",ro" suffix to make share read-only.
    
    In the Linux guest, this share is mounted with:
    
      mount -t 9p sharename /mnt/sharename
    
    In the guest user will see the same permissions and ownership
    information for this directory as on the host. No uid/gid remapping is
    supported, so those could resolve to wrong user or group names.
    
    The same applies to the other side: chowning/chmodding in the guest will
    set specified ownership and permissions on the host.
    
    In libvirt domain XML it's modeled using the 'filesystem' element:
    
      <filesystem type='mount'>
        <source dir='/path/to/shared/dir'/>
        <target dir='sharename'/>
      </filesystem>
    
    Optional 'readonly' sub-element enables read-only mode.
